Glad to hear that it worked out for you.

Can also happen when you catch them right before a busy station is scheduled to be resupplied, since any condensate in the system will go to the bottom of the tank. This is not an uncommon occurance in aviation, hence the drawing of fuel from the bottom of each tank prior to each flight no matter how recently the engine was shutdown last. Just be thankful we primarily operate in two planes, not three!
